Dog Poo Is No Laughing Matter

Is your local park plagued by dog poo? After one disgruntled parkgoer posted several custom dog poop signs, a whole town in Mayo County, Ireland is following suit.

The signs read: “Want to start yoga? Start by bending over and picking up your dog poo, known as the downward dog position.

“Then put it in a bin.”

The sign hasn’t gone unnoticed. In less than one week, the original sign has been shared over 80,000 times on social media. Residents of the area are more than happy with it and the exposure it’s getting – especially if it gets people to start picking up after their animal.

While the sign is getting more than a few laughs, Mayo County Council wants to remind owners that letting your dog poop in public areas is no laughing matter. In fact, it’s against the law if you don’t clean up after your pet.
